I do have some pics from before the make over of my Z4 but it was overcast when they were taken.
Maybe it can give you an idea of how they are. These are one of the brightest I've seen upto now

Love the licence plate! And lovely car, same combo as me....good taste!!

nicknaz · 06-17-2013, 03:26 PM

wheels look nice!

Did you paint or powder coat them or is that a factory option over there?

Any rub with those springs and slightly wider tires?

BelgiumsterlingZ4 · 06-17-2013, 03:26 PM

Very nice car,with good mods

They were painted in Ferric Grey which is in fact a factory option on some OEM rims but not on these. So they are rather unique.

I have to say that I've mounted spacers on the car (front and rear) in order to get this result. Whithout them the result is not the same.

They do rub a little bit in the rear against the plastic liner, but that is not a problem (anymore).

Under street driving conditions, I assume?

that's a bummer.. no go for me then.... I need the tire to be able to tuck into the fender under max suspension compression and any signs of fender liner rub is a huge red flag during inspections

thanks for sharing!

Car looks great, some nice mods

what size spacers are you using

On front axle they are 10mm on each side and on the rear axle they are 12 on each side

Looks great. I love the Ferric gray wheel color and matching roll bar covers.
She is lowered just perfect. That is the look I want to achieve.
A nice 20% window tint and gloss black roundel overlays round out the classic black look (in my opinion)

Tinted windows is a problem over here, you can only tint the rear window and the rear side windows. So the front side windows have to stay stock and that doesn't look good in my opinion.

Now on the other hand, black or carbon roundel overlays have crossed my mind when looking at the pictures. That I might try in the future.
